In order to help develop more comfortable seat cover fabrics, this study primarily surveyed the actual using conditions and the consumers' opinions of the seat cover fabrics. The results of this study were as follows: 1) The colors of seat cover fabric were mostly achromatic. Regarding comsumers' satisfaction on the colors of seat cover fabric, comsumers in their 20's were less satisfied than other age groups. Most unsatisfied consumers prefered bright colors. 2) On the materials of seat cover fabric, synthethic leather and woven were most widely used. Real leather was most prefered due to its luxury and tactile sensation. Woven was secondarily prefered due to its price and tactile sensation. About fourty percent of consumers covered the seat with other cover fabrics because of soil and other reasons. It will be useful if they could choose and change the seat cover fabircs with different materials and colors. 3) When consumers used the seat cover fabrics, the problems that they indicated were not durability and colorfastness but low breathablity during sweating, static electricity, soil, firmness, and cool sensation at the first contact.

Sensorial tests were executed to find the sensibility and texture of the fabrics. The physiological responses employed in this study was electroencephalogram(EEG). The purpose of this study is to find out how the sample groups responded to the texture of the woven silks and the woven ramie. The sample groups are of 10 males and females, age of 25. EEG was recorded a fast and slow alpha wave according to the texture of the textiles. The sample fabrics are of woven silk and woven ramie. The results obtained as be lows. When the sample groups touched the woven silk, they responded and showed more slow alpha wave than the woven ramie. The slow alpha wave raised when the sample groups felt comfort and relax. The fast alpha wave were more in the woven ramie, it raised when the people felt the tension and the anxiety. There was no significant difference between the male and the female. Woven silk has the soft and smoothness it causes comfort. The sensation of tactile was recorded through the EEG.

This paper describes an experiment on the evaluation of human sensibility by monitoring responses to changes In the frequency and amplitude of a tactile display system. Preliminary tasks were performed to obtain effective adjectives concerning texture perception. The number of collected adjectives was originally 33. This number of adjectives was reduced to 14 by a suitability survey that asked whether an adjective is suitable for expressing a texture feeling. Finally after performing a semantic similarity evaluation, the number of adjectives was further reduced to ten and these ten were used in the main experiment. In the main experiment, selected sandpaper types and 15 selected combinations of frequencies and amplitudes of a tactile display were utilized to quantitatively evaluate the ten adjectives using a bipolar seven-point scale. The data show that a relationship exists between the independent variables(frequency, amplitude, and grit site) and the dependent variable(perceived texture). That is, the change of frequency and amplitude is directly related to perceived roughness or essential elements of human tactile sensitivity found in the preliminary experiment.

Various soft tissue defects can be occurred in the hand. In determining the most suitable means of reconstruction a defect, the benefit of the reconstruction has to outweigh the risk of donor morbidity. Flap selection will be based on the size of the defect, the requirements for sensibility, the surgeon's comfort level, and the patient profile such as gender, age, or systemic disease. The hand is the most important tactile sensory organ, hence sensory restoration is critical. Neurosensory free flaps can provide sensibility, vascularity, and soft tissue coverage to an injured hand. This paper will discuss free flaps which can be used for soft tissue reconstruction of the hand.

본 연구에서는 기능성 의류소재로서 나노캡슐화 상전이 물질 처리 직물의 적합성을 평가를 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 직물의 역학적 특성과 촉감 감성과의 관계에 대해 분석하였다. 분석결과, 면직물과 폴리에스테르직물에 모두 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 최대 하중시의 신장성, 전단강성, 표면마찰계수, 인장선형성, 두께 총 5가지로 나타났다. 이를 바탕으로 역학적 특성이 면직물과 폴리에스테르직물의 촉감 감성을 예측할 수 있는지 확인하기 위한 회귀분석 결과 두 직물 모두 R2가 0.7이상으로 예측력이 높게 나타난 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to determine physical characteristics, and subjective sensation toward sports socks, varing types of fiber content and fabric structure. Also we tried to develop regression models from variables. Results of this study are as follows. 1. Cotton 100% socks had a highest absorbency and wickability among six different socks. The result of ANOVA shows that fiber content influenced on the wet sensation only prior to exercise. 2. Terry socks had a higher drop absorbency, stretch properties and thermal resistances than plain jersey socks. But there was no significant difference in overall comfort sensation. 3. We developed regression models to predict overall comfort sensation from thermal sensation and wet sensation. Also we can predict thermal sensation from the thickness of socks in the sole area, and we can predict wet sensation from moisture permeability

Voigt Model assumed for creep was used to obtain the viscoelastic properties of fabrics in thickness direction and the governing equation was derived. The weights were specially designed and calibrated for constant stress applied to fabrics and the 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ resolution laser displacement sensor was attached in order to measure the variation of strain. Ten fabric samples were used. The few steps of strain showed according to the internal structure of fabrics. Also correlations the Hand Values from KESF with the spring and damping coefficients were considered.

외부환경의 변화에 의한 감성의 상태를 특정 자극을 인식한 후 나타나는 생리신호의 정량적인 분석기법을 개발함으로써 감성과 생리신호간의 상관관계를 찾고자 하는 연구가 절실히 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서의 자극은 모터를 이용하는 자극기를 제작하여 부드러운 천과 거친사포를 피검자의 왼손바닥에 제시하였다. 그리고, 피검자에게 피부자극을 제시할 때 피검자가 자극의 특성을 인식하는 과정에서 발생되는 뇌파를 검출, 분석하고자 하였다. 분석방법으로서는 nonstationary한 신호분석에 유용한 특성을 가지고 있는 wavelet변환을 이용한 시간-주파수 EEG 신호의 특정범위에서의 시간-주파수 에너지성분의 변화를 관찰하였다. 그 결과 무자극시의 뇌파와 자극시으 뇌파를 비교하였을 때 부드러운 자극을 제시한 경우에는 낮은 주파수 대역에서 에너지가 우세함을 보였으며, 거친 자극에 대해서는 20-30Hz대역에서의 우세한 에너지 분포가 관찰되었다.

We have measured viscoelastic properties of fabrics in thickness direction. We assume that Maxwell model is very useful in stress relaxation of viscoelastic theories and appropriate formulas for fabric are calculated. Measurement system constitute of high precession load cell, translator and laser displacement sensor for viscoelastic properties was designed and elastic coefficients and damping coefficients were measured for 10 fabric samples. Elastic coefficients measured were 19~25 kN/㎡ and Damping coefficients measured were 4.8~8.7 MN$.$s/㎡. We concluded that these coefficients are good related with FUKURAMI collected from KESF system

This research was designed to compare the subjective evaluation of texture image and preference according to fiber blending ratio of men's suit fabrics. 110 subjects evaluated the texture image and preference of various fabrics. For statistical analysis, factor analysis, MDS, pearson correlation and ANOVA were used. The results were as follows: Sensory image factors of suit fabrics were 'smoothness', 'bulkiness', 'stiffness', 'elasticity', 'moistness' and 'weight sensation'. Sensibility image factors were 'classic', 'practical', 'characteristic' and 'sophisticated'. 'Bulkiness' and 'elasticity' sensory images showed high correlations with sensibility images. Fabrics with high wool blending ratio showed as 'classic' and 'sophisticated', 'bulkiness' and 'elasticity' texture images and fabrics with low wool blending ratio showed texture images of 'characteristic', 'surface character', 'stiffness', 'moistness' and 'weight sensation'. Wool fiber blending ratio affected on the purchase preference and tactile preference. Using regression analysis, it was shown that sensibility images had more of an effect on preference than sensory images. The thickness and pattern type showed positive effects and fiber blending ratio showed negative effects on the preference.
